They aren't ignored by rel-eng.  They're ignored by users/testers.  We
see the same issue with kernel updates for whatever the oldest stable
release is, particularly as we get towards EOL for that release.  As
people migrate to the newer releases, the older ones are simply less
used.

The only thing you can do is ask for testing/karma help here and on
the test list.  If it's really super urgent critical, you can probably
discuss with rel-eng to get it pushed without karma, but that is
always risky too.
